About The Savage Empire

The Savage Empire is the first installment in the Worlds of Ultima series,
a prequel to Martian Dreams. It uses the same engine as Ultima 6, but with new
graphics and increased interactivity. For the first time in Ultima, you can
be resourceful and create things from what nature
provides. You will also enjoy in-game cutscenes that
play part-way through the game, not just in the intro and endgame.

The plot

A whole lab containing the Avatar and a couple of modern-day friends is
swallowed by a black moongate when an experiment on the moonstone he got from
Britannia goes horribly wrong. The group ends up in a primitive jungle, and
befriends Aiela, princess of the Kurak tribe.

Darden the Huge, Aiela's hated suitor and prince of the Urali tribe, defeats
the Avatar, scatters his friends and captures Aiela. The Avatar is nursed
and aided by Intanya, shaman of the Kurak tribe.

It is up to the Avatar to find his friends, rescue Aiela and, ultimately,
unite the warring tribes against a common foe - the vicious Myrmidex intent
on destroying the surface dwellers as they destroyed their former masters,
the Kotl.

Acknowledgements

The Savage Empire Cheats were taken from a Cheatbook Database which came with a PCFormat magazine, whose author's name I cannot find.

I can't remember who told me about the 'Eohippus' easter egg, so I'll at least admit it wasn't my idea. Whoever told me about it should contact me to get proper credit.

Thanks goes to Natreg Dragon who informed me that Ugyuk is a potential companion, pointed out the existence of a high-quality PDF manual (see documentation section above), and told me about the second wisp near the Urali village.
